a ministry, I struggled On and remained

when public opinion better informed,
marked a change which gave me hope OF
forming q government, the senate and
chamber Of deputies voted double resOlu-
ton, which, under the form of adjournment
to a fixed hour to await the president prom

the president to resign. 1t would be my
duty and right to resist, but under the cir

TIE FIRE RECORD.

An Entire Building Consumed in Less
Than 40 Rim uTss-A Loss Of From $780,
900 to 100000.
CINCINNATI, December 1.-At 1880 this
morning a general alarm sounded and called
the entire fire department. to the strobridge
LithOgraphing company's great building on
the northwest corner of Elm and Canal. The
flames devoured the entire building, and in
less than forty minutes the walls fell. The
loss is total and will probably not be less
than $3.50, 600, but by some it is estimated as
high as 100000. StroWbridge q Co.
have an insurance of $4,000 In forty
companies. The fire started on the second
story, but no one knows how. There Is
bare suspicion Of incendiariBm. The StrO-
bridge company have an Office IN New York
and one in London, England. The building
was q fine structure, five stories IN height
and fronting over one hundred feet on the
north side of Canal street. 1t was filed
with costly machinery, including fifteen
photographic presses. Its stock OF paper
and finished an partly finished work was
very large, estimated to be 100000. Most
of the winter work for theatrical companies
was finished but large portion was still IN
the building, and number or theatrical
companies viii be without material to prop
erly bill their plays. Among those suffer
ing IN this way are Charles A. HOyt's three
companies, ''Ihe Tin Soldier" .Rag
Baby" and ''HOie IL the Grounds" "Mlch-
ael StrOuOff.' kIraLfV's Aladdin Mont
gomsry Phisters "Soap Bubble" and
FOrepaugh's and Barnum's Circuses. The
work for the latter, however had not adj
Vanced very far.
Tne scene during the fire was startling.

Supposed to be the Object or the
Crims-The Sen Arrestsd-A Triple Train
COIlision-Ths Haddoek Murder Trial
GaEEsJEIEIlD, Mss, November S0.-DaVid
Randall, OF Turner'S Falls, a gardener and
proprietor of fruit farm, was shot and
killed last night while sitting by a window
in his house by some one unknown. The
charge was from a shotgun fred outside the
house.
TURNER'S FAILS, Mass, November 3d.
The mystery surrounding the murder Of
David Randall last night deepens. The en-
tire lack Of any known motive forms the
subject of deepest perplexity. The victim
was showing an occupant Of the room a lot
of eggs he had bought when suddenly a
stunning explosion occurred and a section
OF the lamp shade fell. The family at first
thought that the lamp had exploded. The
VICTIM after the explosion, still sat IN his
chair, his cane clasped IN his hands resting
between his knees, but his head was
bent forward on his breast and when
they reached his side he was dead. The
family consists of the WIfe,a young daughter
and son II years old. The boy says he LETT
the house fifteen minutes before the murder
ostensibly 70 60 to Montezuma City TO visit
some Of the boys. he states with precision
the very second he reached there and the
hour he left, most too exact for belief, and
this suspicion is shared by the state deteC-
5IVes who have the case in hand. Shortly
after noon the son was arrested, charged
with murder. An attempt was made to
poison the old gentleman some time ago,
but failed. There was SO, 600 insurance on
RandaIIs life and there are whispers that
the probability OF his wiling this to his SIS
ter may have prompted the son 70 do the
dead.

ground to the fourth story. One end Of the
dining room was wrecked, all the tables
being knocked over, and the dishes
smashed. Most Of the guests had finished

panic reigned. but as far as known none OF
the guests were hurt The kitchen of the
hotel was completely wrecked. There were
about a dozen girls in the room at the time,
and all were buried beneath the mass OF
brick and mortar. The FIRE department was
on the scene within minute OF the eLplO-
sion.

to depth of four or I'VE feet with debris
from the wrecked building. The north wall
of the dining room was blown In for dis
tancs Of fifteen or twenty feet. The hremen
got water upon the ruins IN time to eXtin-
guish the flames before they had gained
much Roadway. The accident was probably
caused by the freezing of the feed pipe sup
plying the boiler with water. Those whose

HUNTING FOR HE4IP.

The "Arbeiter zeitung'' on Freedom OF
Speech-COvert Threats Against Inter
ference With the Reds Celebration.
CHICAGO, November 2S.-The following
extracts from an article in the Sunday issue
of the Arbeiter Zeitung are interesting at
the present junctGre, as there has been
some question Of a celebration, such as the
central labor union and a number of turn
ing and singing societies intend to have
December 10, would lead to trouble.
Referring to the attempts to prevent any
speaking at such a meeting, the paper says:
The committee that has rented battery
ID hall for the celebration December
10 Is compelled to fight this insidiOus mob
which, IN the full consciousness Of its guilt,
dare not approach its honest opponents
openly, but tries to Obstruct their way by
tr1ckery. 1t is said that such things can
happen, but it is said that Friday evening
the delegates OF the nine turning societies
declared as one man: sit is our duty as
turner's to protect freedom Of speech, as
thirty years ago our brothers Of the Clncln-
nau Iurnge Munds considered 1t their sa-
cred duty to protect Wendell Phillips with
their bodies against mob that had majority
but was governed by stupidity and villalny.
As they were ready to give up blood and
life for the constitution and the liberty OF
speech guaranteed by 1t, thus we will also
stand fast and true when John Clay steps on
the platform and speaks to the working p6O-
pie of the past, present and future. Those
were true Turner's that spoke in that strain
and We entertain the firm hope that those
Turner'S also who we're IN a minority IN the
80 called conservative societies will be
sound on this question; that they
viii also know where their place is, if any
body, whoever it may be, should make
frivolous, reasonable attempt-an attempt
deserving Of death-to outrage the rights Of
the people; but it viii not come to this"
The article goes on to say that the citi-
vana' mo-
for lack Of courage, and the organization
would not, SO soon after the 1lth day of No
vember, provoke a riot, the termination Of
which would be at least doubtful.

WATCHING AND WAITING.


Prospects of a Deadlock on the Converting
OF Congress.
WASHINGTON, D. O., December Ia
caucus of democratic senators was held to-
day to consider the question of the admis-
sion of Senators Turpie, Of Indiana,
and Faulkner, of West Virginia. Without
taking definite action the caucus adjourned
to tomorrow. The democrats are firm in
their conviction that the two senators named
should be sworn IN when the other new
senators are, and they are as yet unaware
of any purpose on the part of The repub-
Heans to prevent this. The usual
course of procedure is to swear
in new senators two at a time in the order
IN which their names stand on the alphabet
ical list. The two parties are exactly equal
In strength at the start, but with the admin
istratiOn of the oath to the first senator on the
Ist-Mr. Aldrich-the republicans VIII
have a majority and can of course control
the current OF events If no dllatory proceed
Ings are rssOrteG to. 1t Is evident that the
members of both parties are studying the
rules and precedsnts closely, with
view to meeting any al
tempt by their opponents 70 secure an
advantage, but rithout knowing exactly, as
yet. what they are TO guard against. The
democrats have caused kilograms to be sent
to their absentees summOniug them to be
present tomorrow and on Monday.

CITY OFFICERS N jan.

The Mayor and Ten Members of the Lin
coin. Neb., Council in Jail at Omaha for
Contempt of Court.
LINCOLN, NB., November R9.-MRyOF
Sayor and ten Of the twelve members Of the
council Of this city are now incarcsrated in
the Douglass county Jail at Omaha, by order
Judge Brewer of the United States court,
they having refused to pay fines imposed by
the court for contempt aggregatlng $50.
The history of the case, which led up to this
condition of affairs, is about as follows;
Sometime in July last charges were pre-
ferred against Police Judge Parsons by d
number OF citizens, alleging malfeasgnce IN
Office and misapprOpriatlOn of funds paid
into his hands as fines for violation of city
ordinances. The council decided to lnves-
tigate the affairs of the judge, but had not
proceeded far when they found that before
doing so they would have to adopt a set OF
rules to govern the examination as the city
was working under a new charter. This was
done and the investigation proceeded and
/ resulted IN a determination on the part or
the council to Dust the police Judge. After
the council had decided upon this
action, but before the final vote de-
claring the office vacant had been taken,
the police judge applied to Judge Brewer for
an injunction, alleging that he was being
l tried for an alleged Otfense by an eL post
| factO law. A temporary injunction was
served on the council, but that body belieY-
l ing that the case had been WantOn-
I ly Inlsrepresented to the federal court Tor the
/ purpose Of gaining time, decided to disre-
/ gard the Injunction, and th6rsupOn took
/ final action, removed Police Judge Parsons
/ and confirmed the mayors appointment of
| a successor to the Office. The council was
/ then cited to appear before Judge Brewer to
/ answer to the charge of contempt. At this
| hearing the court held that, although 1t
might not have jurisdiction, yet it was con-
! tempt for the council to disregard the tenn
] porary Injunction. andhned them accordingly
/ in sums ranging from $500 to $500 each. The
| council decided to test the case in the high
/ est court and in accordance they refused to
pay the fines and went to jail. A legal rep
! resentative has already left for Washington
/ to institute habeas corpus proceedings in
I the United States supreme court.
